Etiquette Books

This book is a great way to teach kids when it is appropriate to say "no" and when it is not. For instance, if your friend wants to trade dolls with you, and don't want to trade, it is okay to say "no." When someone tries to convince you to do something you know is wrong, is it okay to say "no." But it is not right to say "no" if it is a lie (e.g. "did you break this vase?") or when your mother asks you to do something that will prevent you from getting hurt or damaging property. It also teaches about saying "no" politely when you don't want to do something, such as play with a friend. We often think of "no" as a negetive word, but this book reminds us all - adults and kids alike - that sometimes saying "no" is the wise thing to do.

This is a wonderful book to give as a gift. I have purchased many of them locally as gifts & when I couldn't find them I logged on here to order more ! Super fantastic reading for the female high school grad before entering college life. I have received nothing but thanks from those that I gave this to. I have been giving this for many years now & it is still relevant & very encouraging to that special gal that you are sending off into a new & exciting world ! A Must Read !!!

This volume is an excellent addiiton to our Brick Presbyterian Church in the City of New York archives. Dr. Miller was an assistant to the Reverend John Rodgers, prominent minister in New York City during the revolutionary war era.

I consider myself an excellent networker and a "people person", but Ms. Dimond's book pointed out many unique items that I could improve upon such as being precise in voice mails to not salting food before tasting it. (I wish I had known the salting advice before my beloved Aunt Edith died.) Ms. Dimond combines the Trumpisms "book smarts" and "street smarts" to create a bible of etiquette for anyone starting out in business, inteviewing for new positions in middle age, or on top of the ladder of life (and wishing to stay there). This is a fairly fast read (a great deal is said in a succint manner) and a MUST read for those interested in getting ahead both in business and in life.

For a little book, this gem is full of interesting information and neat little facts. It is a quick read but very worthwhile. Would recommend it for anyone wishing to travel to Lithuania or anyone with Lithuanian ancestory wanting to learn about their history.

This book is a necessity in today's world. Anyone who applies these principles will be described as "Refined".

Written in an easily readable and entertaining style this is a must for any party giver big or small and is packed full of tips and useful advice. Liz Brewer seems to have thought of everything that one every has to consider in giving a party.

I have bought one book for myself and three as gifts. It will make the perfect gift.

Ludmila and her family live in the ancient Russian town of Suzdal. The young girl cares for the animals and grows fruit and vegetables on a small plot of land. She rescues a homeless dog she calls Vladimir from the cold and introduces him to all the inhabitants of Ludmila's barn which includes three hens, two cows, and one very contrary goose. Set against a beautifully drawn backdrop of Russian buildings, belltowers, windmills, and monasteries, Ludmila's Way is a charming story of sharing, generosity, and harmony.

Finally, a story about teaching our children values, manners and self respect. I have been looking for a entertaining story to read to my toddlers that instill some of the values that my husband and I want our children to grow up with. Magical Chango was given to me by my mother, who knew that in today's society values were not being taught to children. We are so involved with our fast-paced lives that we tend to forget to stop and teach our children the very basics of civility. (P) Magical Chango is my gift to our children. Through a wonderful magical tale, my children are able to envision our teachings to them. The great part is, they just think its fun. Chango gives my children, through their imagination, the enpowerment to respect themselves and eventually as they grow older all others around them. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to instill values, insight, and manners into our precious gift, the children.

Excellent book! This book provides an insightful understanding of the importance of relationships in everything that we do in organizations. It offers a critical, yet helpful, eye on negotiations, strategic alliances, and a variety of other contemporary management topics.
